Challenge: Client had multiple divisions/business units that operated independently with their own set of carrier rates, payment processes, shipping systems and no visibility of their freight practices/ spend across all locations.

Solution: CTSI-Global consolidated each business unit under one freight payment process, giving them complete visibility of their transportation spend for the entire organization. Client also implemented CTSI-Globalís Web-based TMS applications for headquarters to standardize shipping systems across each division.

Results: CTSI-Global re-rated all their shipments, performed modeling, break-even analysis, reviewed data and made recommendations to execute Carrier Contract Negotiations. The information gathered from freight bill audit & payment and TMS applications, enabled Client to leverage their freight spend across all locations and negotiate contracts at a lower rate. The TMS Routing Guide reflected the new contracts to ensure the optimal carrier for each shipment was selected. Now, reports are generated to monitor on-going savings, performance metrics for continuous process improvement.
